on the other hand, they did a head to head match-up between christie and hillary clinton and she wins 49-45% in new jersey. >> right. none of that is really important because it isn't chris christie who is the face of the republican party, for better or worse, the 27/7 news cycle have made john boehner and mitch mcconnell the face of the republican party to the american people. and john is right, the message is terrible. they are opposing the buff et rule, that has been advanced by senate democrats as getting out of the sequester. it says millionaires should pay a percentage on their taxes no matter what deductions they have and that percentage is about what the average working american pays. what's wrong with that? why don't the republican party embrace that? >> let me ask you, john, about the piece that kathleen parker wrote in the "washington post." it's time for rinos, republicans in name only, to take back the party. rinos need to be defy antly proud and centrist and unapologetically sane. is that what you're saying too? >> not at all. i think conservative principles have not fai

we know what happened to hillary clinton when she tried to take on health care. we certainly saw nancy reagan take a lot of hits how close she was to her husband. what did you find out about that and those relationships and particularly influence? >> well, when you think about it, there may only be one person that comes to a president without someone else's agenda in mind. that is the first lady. over the years they have had tremendous influence over their husbands and they are their confidants and political partners. rosalind carter was attending cabinet meetings and nancy reagan, some say she had a role in firing the ef choo chief of staff so it goes back as well. >> let me ask you finally i thought there was a fascinating poll c-span commissioned. 44% thought first ladies should get a salary for what she do. what can you tell us about the significant role besides confidant and maybe adviser that first ladies have played over the years? >> they often turned out to be fundraisers, campaign managers. they also had special projects that they liked. i think that be
